Originally a clerical fief of Aerdy, Almor grew in power and independence as the Great Kingdom became weak and decadent. The various petty nobles and the Lord Mayor of the town of Innspa swear alle giance to the reigning prelate — usually a high priest. The state is only loosely organized, but it has a strong spirit of freedom and justice based upon religious pre cepts. The peoples are mainly farmers and herdsmen and fisherfolk. In the far north there are some fore sters. Militia contingents bear crossbow, spear or polearm (fauchard or glaive most commonly), or longbow or battleaxe (northern contingent). Standing forces number around 5,000 total horse and foot, plus the nobility and gentry. The Prelacy is strongly sup ported by Nyrond as a buffer between that realm and that of the Overking, and pays a stipend to help sup port the standing army of Almor.
The Living Greyhawk Gazetter (LGG) is a sourcebook for the World of Greyhawk campaign setting for the Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying game. Setting is 591CYAlmor, Prelacy of: Almor has passed from the map of the Flanaess. Weakened and embarassed by Osson’s exploits, it was invaded by Ivid in 584 CY and its old capital, Chathold, utterly decimated by the Overking’s mages and priests. The animus Duke Szeffrin now rules half of the old Almorian lands, and this creature, formerly a greatly favored general in Ivid’s armies, is reputedly one of the cruellest of the animus nobles now holding sway over so much of Aerdy.
The current ruler is Governor Younard (LG male human Ftr13)
